Green Cottage Design in Westminster
Outside the Houses of Parliment (I had to lie on the floor to get this shot!)
On Tuesday 15th December I joined a group of schoolchildren, teachers & parents from Blackburn, Sheffield and Manchester on a visit to the House of Commons to document their presentation to cabinet ministers including Jack Straw, Rosie Winterton and Greg Pope. The trip was organised by Class of your own and everyone owes an enormous debt of gratitude to Alison Watson & Dan Gibson who coordinated the itinerary for the day with military precision, not least for allowing yours truly to navigate his way through the reams of security with a substantial arsenal of video and sound recording equipment!
It was a pleasure to film the day and see all the effort the children had put into their presentations and a special mention to Matthew who, although wheeled in and out of trains, taxis, lifts and all over the Houses of Parliament in his wheelchair always had a grin on his face. His interviewing wasn’t half bad either – watch out Paxman!
I cant wait to complete the editing of day and let the children and their parents see how well they came across.
